Faith and Works
Show me your faith apart from your works, and I by my works will show you my faith. You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe -- and shudder. Do you want to be shown, you foolish fellow, that faith apart from works is barren? - - James 2:18-20Everyone professes to believe that the Bible does not contradict itself. So how do Protestants reconcile this simple line from James with their beliefs? Remember, Martin Luther added the word "alone" to the famous Romans verse (he has admitted several times that the verse does not say or imply "alone", but he felt it should be there). Without that one word ("alone") the Romans verse agrees with James. With the word "alone" it is contradictory. So was Luther right in adding a word to the Holy Scriptures? I would say not.
Just a quick thought.

Hello,
According to other Catholics and protestants on other forums, the word added by Martin Luther does not exist in any of the new Protestant(as you call us) bibles.

Simon,
So they corrected that error of Luther's. Did they add back all of the books he removed from the Bible?
God bless,
